Question 1

Dear Sir, I am S Anand. My lab report shows a Rheumatoid Factor of 15.37 IU per ml, HS CRP of 9.95, with a standard value of 3, and Lipoprotein level of 66.32, with a standard value of 30.0. I would like to know if these results indicate Rheumatoid Arthritis. Please suggest the appropriate course of medication. Thank you, Sir.

Question 2

Hi, I am 5 months pregnant with my first baby. In my recent blood test, my platelet count has risen to 700,000, and my WBC is 11,200, which seems high. My doctor has advised me to do PT, APTT, INR, and Hb electrophoresis and to consult a hematologist. This is the first time my platelet count has been elevated, my last report was completely normal. Could this change be related to pregnancy? I am unsure how to proceed and would like guidance, as all my other reports are normal.

Question 3

Actually, I am having a sore throat problem for a long time. I took every medication but nothing worked. I always feel like having cough and scratching sensation in my throat. Please help me. Just because of it I have to leave my job. Please look at my report. Is everything normal or is it something else?
